(Narrator)
Joseph was taken to Egypt in chains and sold
Where he was bought by a captain named Potiphar
(Narrator & MM)
Potiphar had very few cares
He was one of Egypt`s millionaires
Having made a fortune buying shares in
(Potiphar)
Pyramids
(Narrator & MM)
Potiphar had made a huge pile
Owned a large percentage of the Nile
(Potiphar)
Meant that I could really live in style
(Narrator & MM)
And he did
(Narrator)
Joseph was an unimportant
Slave who found he liked his master
Consequently worked much harder
Even with devotion
Poitphar could see that Joseph
Was a cut above the average
Made him leader of his household
Maximum promotion
(Narrator & MM)
Potiphar was cool and so fine
(Potiphar)
But my wife would never toe the line
(Narrator & MM)
It`s all there in chapter thirty-nine
Of Genesis
She was beautiful but
(Potiphar)
Evil
(Narrator & MM)
Saw a lot of men against his will
He would have to tell her that she still
Was his
(Narrator)
Joseph`s looks and handsome figure
Had attracted her attention
Every morning she would beckon
(Mrs. Potiphar)
Come and lie with me, love
(Narrator)
Joseph wanted to resist her
`Till one day she proved too eager
Joseph cried in vain
(Joseph)
Please stop
I don`t believe in free love
(Narrator)
Potiphar was counting sheckels
In his den below the bedroom
When he heard a mighty rumpus
Clattering above him
Suddenly he knew his riches
Couldn`t buy him what he wanted
Gold would never make him happy
If she didn`t love him
(Narrator, Ensemble & Children)
Letting out a mighty roar
Potiphar burst through the door
(Potiphar)
Joseph, I`ll see you rot in jail
The things you have done are beyond the pale
(Narrator, Ensemble & Children)
Poor, poor Joseph, locked up in a cell
Things ain`t going well, hey, locked up in a cell
Poor, poor Joseph, locked up in a cell
Things ain`t going well, hey, locked up in a cell
